The Prince's name was Wen Youyuan, and he was the younger brother of the current Emperor of Bi Wan Kingdom. Ordinary members of the royal family might not know the secrets of the royal family, but how could he, one of the top figures of the royal family, not know the history of the Wen family?
It was precisely because of this that he was shocked. The hidden Old Ancestor was a peerless expert with mysterious means. It was because of his fame that the Wen family had established its current status in Bi Wan Kingdom.
Who was Mister Nongzhu? He was one of the few friends of the Old Ancestor. It was said that he was also a peerless expert with mysterious means. There was also a legend that Mister Nongzhu was the Old Ancestor's benefactor. This matter involved the Old Ancestor's romantic past, and it was strictly forbidden to spread within the royal family.
Wen Youyuan glanced at the still crying scholar and swept his eyes over the people on the left and right sides of the hall. These people were the relatives of the royal family and some meritorious officials who came with the team. He waved his hand at them and said, "You can leave for now."
The group of people saluted and left the hall. However, there was a young man who looked similar to the Prince who did not leave. He was hesitant and seemed to have something to say. This person was the Prince's second son, Wen Chongzheng. Wen Youyuan frowned slightly and said, "Chongzheng, do you have something else?"
Wen Chongzheng said respectfully, "Father, I want to stay and listen to what is going on. I want to see if I can help you."
How dare he disobey his father's order. Wen Youyuan raised his eyebrows and swallowed the reprimand that was at the tip of his tongue. This youngest son was born of a concubine. Because he was born of a concubine, it was not his turn to inherit the throne. That was why there was this trip to Dayan Kingdom.
Bi Wan Kingdom had a cruel rule for the royal family. Because Bi Wan Kingdom's territory was not very large, in order to suppress the spread of royal family members, each royal family could only have one descendant to inherit the title. Once the others were married, they would be demoted to commoners.
Normally, even if these people were demoted to commoners, they would still have a background. But unfortunately, because of that cruel rule, no one wanted to give up on the inheritance of the title, and the internal strife between the brothers continued unabated. Imagine, after someone inherited the title and gained power, how could he let go of his former enemies? Therefore, many people who lost the right to inherit had a very bleak ending.
No one dared to change the iron law set by the ancestors. It was precisely because Wen Youyuan did not want to see the situation of his two sons killing each other that he had allowed the dignified prince to run for the Emperor's son-in-law. He hoped that he would be able to protect both his wealth and his life. This was also a last resort. Most of the people in the hall had come for this reason.
Wen Youyuan wanted to reject his son's request, but he couldn't bear to say it out loud …
Wen Bai, who was at the side, knew that it was hard for him to say. He glanced at Wen Chongzheng and said with a faint smile, "Your Highness, after all, the literati already know about it. It's fine even if Chongzheng knows about it. I believe that Chongzheng will not spread it." Although his surname was Wen, he had been adopted by the Wen family since he was young because of his talent for cultivation. He was not a true blood relative of the Wen family, but he was one of the protectors of the Wen family.
Wen Chongzheng, who had his head slightly lowered, had a calm expression on his face. His fists, which were hidden in his sleeves, were tightly clenched. His nails had already sunk deep into his flesh. Just because he was born of a concubine and not a legitimate son, he wasn't even given a chance to be filial? Father, aren't you a little too ruthless?
Wen Youyuan's gaze swept past his son, and he did not look at him directly. He asked Wen Bai, "What is going on? Mister Nongzhu is a mysterious person. How did you offend him? Brother Wen Bai, can you really confirm that he is Mister Nongzhu? "
When the words' Mister Nongzhu 'came out, Wen Chongzheng's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. Others might think that he did not know who Mister Nongzhu was, but he had unintentionally heard of this person. He was a person with great magical power. No wonder even the Princess had to suffer.
"The Princess insisted on going out to experience the customs and customs of the Dayang Kingdom, so she picked a relatively clean inn and prepared to stay. Who knew that the inn had already been booked by Mister Nongzhu … "Wen Bai immediately roughly explained what had happened. Because Wen Chongzheng was present, he decided to leave the details to the Prince alone.
Unexpectedly, the tearful literati wiped his tears and said, "Uncle, who is that person? He could tell that we are the royal family of the Bi Wan Kingdom, but he actually dared to force Qing 'er to kneel and admit her mistake. Also, who in the royal family is Wen Lanfeng? Why have I never heard of him? That person kept saying that he wanted Wen Lanfeng to personally go to the South Sea to apologize to him, or he would tear down the palace of the Bi Wan Kingdom. He was so arrogant, but Uncle Bai still sided with him and bullied Qing 'er together. Boohoo! "She cried again.
Her tone seemed to be complaining, but the listener was listening attentively. Wen Bai smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to leave these words to Wen Youyuan, but who knew that she would spill it all out.
Wen Youyuan's scalp tingled. He naturally knew that the Elder Ancestor was Wen Lanfeng. In this world, who else could ask Wen Lanfeng to go to the South Sea to apologize but that person in the South Sea? Oh my god! This girl was easy to provoke, but why did she provoke him? The Elder Ancestor could not give face to anyone, but he had to give face to that person. He had saved his life!
Wen Chongzheng looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil. That Mister Nongzhu was actually a person who could influence the legendary Elder Ancestor of the Wen family? Oh my god! His heart was beating wildly, and he seemed to have found a way to the other side of the sea of bitterness.
He had long had this intention, so he more or less knew some hidden things, so he knew who Wen Lanfeng was, unlike Princess Wenqing who was ignorant.
"Eight hundred taels of gold will be fine?" Wen Youyuan murmured. When he heard Wenqing sobbing without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, he immediately pointed his finger and shouted angrily, "Still crying! Do you know that you almost caused a terrible disaster? If something happens, even your father will be implicated, and no one can save you. "
The sobbing stopped, and Wenqing's mouth opened. Her hair was disheveled, and she stood there pitifully, not daring to cry anymore. It was the first time she had seen Uncle Wang so angry at her. When she heard that even her father might be implicated, she finally believed that she had really provoked someone she could not afford to offend. With tears in her eyes, she tried to guess who the vulgar guy with the big fan was.
Outside the hall, a servant lightly walked in and respectfully said, "Your Highness, lunch is ready. Please enjoy your meal."
"Get lost!" Wen Youyuan roared wildly. Immediately, the servant was so scared that he scrambled out, not knowing how he had offended the Prince.
"Come!" Wen Youyuan shouted again. Two guards with sabers on their waists quickly ran in to greet him. Wen Youyuan waved at Wenqing and said in a deep voice, "Order all the guards in the embassy to keep an eye on the princess. Without my order, no one is allowed to let the princess go out. If you let her step out, I'll take both of your heads! "
"Yes!" The two guards stood up, but they were shocked. Although the Prince was noble, it was a bit too much to put the princess under house arrest. But they were the guards of the Prince's Mansion, so they stood behind the princess without saying a word, obeying the Prince's order.
"Uncle Wang! Qing 'er knows she was wrong. "Wenqing said with infinite grievance.
But it was useless to act spoiled today. Wen Youyuan said sternly, "Shut up, I will ask your father to punish you when we go back."
Wenqing was dumbfounded. Wen Bai shook his head and sighed. Wen Chongzheng, on the other hand, realized how powerful Mister Nongzhu was.
After Wen Youyuan calmed down a little, he turned and said, "Brother Wen Bai, I will go change first. I will trouble you to bring me to see Mister later. I want to apologize in person."
"This … Since Mister has promised not to pursue the matter, I believe he will not go back on his words. If we go, I am afraid we will make Mister unhappy." Wen Bai was stunned.
Wen Youyuan said with a bitter smile, "I will not be at ease without seeing him. I hope Brother Wen Bai can understand!" Although he said that, he more or less wanted to get to know the senior expert. He had never seen the ancestor in his life, so it was enough to be able to see Mister Nongzhu.
"Alright then!" Wen Bai said with a helpless smile. Following which, the two of them walked out together, leaving only the four of them in the hall. The two guards stayed close to the Princess, while Wen Qing stared at Wen Chongzheng with endless resentment and said, "Brother Wang, you have to stay behind and accompany me."
"Cough cough!" Wen Chongzheng coughed twice and said, "Father also told me to do something. I do not have time to accompany you for now. Take care, Sister. The two of you must not neglect the princess. " The last sentence was said to the two guards, clearly telling them to keep a close watch. After saying that, he hurriedly ran away. "Brother Wang, stop right there …" Wenqing's tiger-like roar came from behind him, and he ran even faster.
At Guangying Tavern, after Yue Qianchou and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, Boss Sang called for someone to clean up the leftovers. He personally went to the street outside and bought three money pouches. These things were what Yue Qianchou wanted. He was naturally prepared to spend money to accompany Furong shopping, but hanging a storage pouch outside was too conspicuous, so he still needed the money pouches.
Boss Sang had just returned to the entrance of Guangying Tavern with the three money pouches when he came face to face with four people. One of them was the person who had previously compensated Mister Nongzhu. Although he did not understand why they had come again, he still nodded and smiled in greeting.
Wen Bai glanced at the three money pouches in Boss Sang's hands and immediately understood. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Boss, we meet again. Is that mister still in the tavern?"
Boss Sang quickly looked them up and down, then returned the greeting and asked, "What business do you have with Mister Nongzhu?"
Wen Youyuan, who was standing to the side, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "This humble one has come to apologize to Mister Nongzhu because of my niece's recklessness. I'll have to trouble Boss Sang to inform him." As he spoke, he slightly waved his hand behind him. A guard took out a shining white ingot of silver and stuffed it into Boss Sang's hands.
Boss Sang put on a happy expression and said, "Please wait a moment. I will go inform him immediately." He then hurriedly ran inside.
When he reached the back courtyard, he saw that the innocent woman was playing with the three piles of gold and silver on the table. She was having a great time. Mister Nongzhu was standing to the side, waving his fan and watching with a smile. General Zhang Peng suddenly turned around. When he saw that it was Mister Nongzhu, his vigilant gaze relaxed …
